[armedbear-devel] Spaces in pathnames (jar:file:/x/y/z/a space/...)
by Theam Yong Chew 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Dear ABCL developers, While ABCL can handle spaces (& others) in file pathnames just fine, a space in jar file pathnames still doesn't work. I have confirmed this on Linux, Mac and Windows. An example using Cygwin, $ java -jar abcl.jar Armed Bear Common Lisp 0.24.0 Java 1.6.0_20 Sun Microsystems Inc. Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM Low-level initialization completed in 0.625 seconds. Startup completed in 4.438 seconds. Type ":help" for a list of available commands. CL-USER(1): (load "jar:file:e:/My Dropbox/temp/a space/hello.jar!/hello.abcl") #<THREAD "interpreter" {9AC0F5}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type FILE-ERROR Failed to create URI from 'e:/My Dropbox/temp/a space/hello.jar': Illegal character in opaque part at index 10: file:e:/My Dropbox/temp/a space/hello.jar Restarts: 0: TOP-LEVEL Return to top level. (and yeah, this particular path already has a space character in "My Dropbox" along with my original intended "a space" folder) By the way, thanks for the :wildcard directory support (I've only just tested that, it works for me now!).

[armedbear-devel] The value :LONG is not of type (MEMBER NIL :BOOLEAN)
by Chun Tian (binghe) 30 May '11

30 May '11

Hi, ABCL developers I found my program have some CLOS code which could get the weakness of ABCL ... It's cl-net-snmp [1], which I just release a whole new version few days ago. My goal on ABCL is to make sure the server-side version (a pure Lisp SNMP Agent) run as a separated thread in JVM, so that people can use my program to remotely monitor any Java (or ABCL) servers. (I know some ABCL people are fixing bordeaux-threads, I'm watching this work and hope it could be done soon) Now I need help. If one could spend 5 minutes do a SVN checkout of the release branch: https://cl-net-snmp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cl-net-snmp/snmp/branches/6 and try to ASDF load it (you'll need usocket 0.5 and ironclad), two major CLOS bug of ABCL will show up, one is at "pdu.lisp", as what the mail title said, The value :LONG is not of type (MEMBER NIL :BOOLEAN). I have no idea how to fix it. Regards, Chun Tian (binghe) [1] http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-net-snmp/snmp.html Below are the error outputs when compiling a lisp file from cl-net-snmp: #<THREAD "interpreter" {24CCF86}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type TYPE-ERROR The value :LONG is not of type (MEMBER NIL :BOOLEAN).

[armedbear-devel] Patch: call reinitialize-instance on metaclass on class redefinition
by Alessio Stalla 01 May '11

01 May '11

Hello, I found out that ABCL, when redefining a class, modifies the old class metaobject in-place, slot by slot. This has the implication that the redefinition of an instance of a custom metaclass does not update custom slots. Now, I didn't check on the AMOP, but I'm pretty sure the proper class redefinition protocol is more articulate than the one implemented in ABCL; still, applying the patch that you find attached fixes the problem of custom slots not being updated by calling reinitialize-instance where the old code manually updated the class metaobject, so it is, I think, a valid temporary solution until we have a full MOP. However, before committing the patch, I'd like to hear your opinion about it. The patch also includes some tabs converted to spaces, sorry for the noise. Bye, Alessio

[armedbear-devel] json-rpc?
by Axel Rauschmayer 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

I think ABCL would make an excellent Ajax server. As such, it would have to support json-rpc. Any suggestions as to how to make this happen? The first part is obviously the server, where the two choices that I can see are Hunchentoot and a servlet container such as Tomcat. In the latter case, I would expect to use a technique like abcl-web (which seems a little bit complicated, but doable). The second part is the JSON parsing. How would I do that? Via CL-JSON? Via Yason? Via a Java library? Sorry for these newbie questions. I’m just getting started with Common Lisp and ABCL. Thanks, Axel -- Axel.Rauschmayer(a)ifi.lmu.de http://www.pst.ifi.lmu.de/~rauschma/

[armedbear-devel] Mixing Java/Lisp abstraction barrier in ABCL implementation
by Mark Evenson 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Alessio has nicely [committed an simple implementation of RUN-PROGRAM][1] to help out Faré's request for XCVB. [1]: http://trac.common-lisp.net/armedbear/changeset/13270 As I think most of would rather do things in Lisp than Java were possible, his implementation uses the JAVA package FFI primtives (JCALL, JMETHOD, etc) to manipulate the underlying JVM ProcessBuilder abstraction. When I was mucking around with the PATHNAME work, Ville objected to code that I had written in a similar manner, and I re-wrote my patch in Java. As I understand it his objection stememd from the architectural principle that the core ABCL Lisp is to be written without direct calls to Java classes to maintain the Java/Lisp abstraction barrier. So, theoretically, if all the ABCL primitives written in Java were running on a different JVM (say Dalvik or the CLR), the rest of ABCL would run as well, modulo the compiler. But since getting features like RUN-PROGRAM implemented quickly helps everyone out, maybe we should relax this somehow? Maybe placing such code in a different directory ("org/armedbear/lisp/jvm"?) Or use the CL package system to have a SYSTEM-JVM from which SYSTEM can inherit symbols? Does this architectural principle still make sense? -- "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare to it now."

Cc'ing the abcl mailing-list. Also, it's very annoying for cl-launch that xcl doesn't have a --no-inform mode. Even more annoying when some output goes to standard-output *after* I print my stuff and call quit. Can you fix this?

[armedbear-devel] Function.execute and in-package
by Pablo Duboue 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Hello, How can I issue a Function.execute so that it executes in the context of a given package? That is, I have an instance of the Function class, obtained from a .getSymbolFunction() call on a findAccessibleSymbol over a Package instance, per the examples in the source tree. This function call executes fine, but it runs on package "CL". I need it to run on package, say, "FOO". I have tried a number of things, to no avail: * Issuing an interpreter.evaluate("(in-package "FOO")") beforehand. That seemed very reasonable, but doesn't work. Looking into the code, it seems related to packages being special bindings and said bindings being reset between calls to evaluate. * Fiddling with the thread.markSpecialBindings calls which seem to reset in-package bindings in Lisp, Interpreter and Function. I haven't had much success there, am I on the right track at all? * Trying to use other calls instead of function.execute, which include an environment and a thread, that was very cumbersome (and didn't work either). Might this work at all...? * Using the JSR-223 interface. That did work, but as I'm planning to put this in a Web service, I don't want any interpreter on the way (for security reasons). By the way, the JSR-223 page is the only instance of "in-package" in the whole wiki. (The mailing list search function for 'in-package' split it as two words and return half the mailing list as output.) Any pointers will be appreciated and I'll add the information to the wiki afterward (suggesting where to put it will also be appreciated). You can also reply on #abcl, my nick there is DrDub. Gracias! P.

[armedbear-devel] ABCL and XCVB
by Faré 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Dear ABCL developers, did you ever get to look at the make-pathname bug? for i in sbcl ccl clisp scl allegro ecl gclcvs abcl xcl ; do cl-launch -l $i -iw '(make-pathname :directory nil :defaults #p"/home/fare/")' ; done Also, I'd like to support ABCL in XCVB, and for that I need something more powerful than run-shell-command, since I need to be able to grab the output. I support I could write to a temporary file with a shell redirect, but it's dirty and racy and requires figuring out where the temporary files are to be located. Could you implement a variant of run-program? It might require some trickery to support both Unix and Windows, but it would be very useful, probably beyond just XCVB.
